How to Schedule DVD Burning?

Jun 23, 2005 10:50AM PDT

How can I make a computer burn certain files from a folder daily at a specific time? Can I make use of the scheduled task? Or is there any commonly used application/solution that can be made use of?

Thank you in advance.

Linux does this.

The cdrecord and utilities are command line driven that you can put in the cron file. Your post did not limit the solutions to Macintosh only.

Oh sorry for not mentioning. I'm using Win XP Professional. And I want to burn my MS SQL backup files into DVD everyday at specific timing. Sorry.

Thank you.

Here's the Windows port of the above.

It's all command line driven and others have some GUIs to help you craft your commands to be put into your batch files.

And yes, DVD media recording is in there.
